Stop breadboarding and soldering – start making immediately! Adafruit’s Circuit Playground is jam-packed with LEDs, sensors, buttons, alligator clip pads and more. Build projects with Circuit Playground in a few minutes with the drag-and-drop MakeCode programming site, learn computer science using the CS Discoveries class on code.org, jump into CircuitPython to learn Python and hardware together, or even use Arduino IDE. Circuit Playground Express is the newest and best Circuit Playground board, with support for MakeCode, CircuitPython, and Arduino. It has a powerful processor, 10 NeoPixels, mini speaker, InfraRed receive and transmit, two buttons, a switch, 14 alligator clip pads, and lots of sensors: capacitive touch, IR proximity, temperature, light, motion and sound. A whole wide world of electronics and coding is waiting for you, and it fits in the palm of your hand.

The computer had polished walnut ends. The modem was an acoustic coupler that discreetly held the phone handset inside the closed case… suitable for executive suites and clueless 17 year-old’s dorm rooms alike.

Ahh yes wood computers. I too had a Processor Tech SOL back in the day. It followed me across the country through a dozen moves. When I was preparing for my move to Maui, I could not justify bringing it with me. So it, along with full documentation (paper), and programs on audio cassettes, were donated to Crashspace in LA. I believe it still hides out in a closet there.
